Just updating the current situation with another well written article, although a bit one sided towards the good faith of astronomers it is informative. Better late than never to try and build a relationship with those who share your wonder of Maunakea, universe, and island environment.

Very concerning that It once looked like a done deal that the 2033 lease for the summit from the university, would have been extended without listening to community concerns once the TMT was built(once again). All other observatories atop Maunakea should start to worry or at least be a bit uncertain now too, because people do not like to have their kindness taken advantage of. Most good folks or residents here may believe in equality, fairness, contracts, handshakes, laws, promises or words to be honored. Jmo
